Review: No better marinade for both beef and chicken - What this does to steak and chicken is unreal. You must try it! Delicious and very much worth the expense. Review: Excited to get this in America - I used to use this Shiokoji in Japan and used to bring it back from Japan. I absolutely love it and am so happy that I can buy it in the US. The packaging makes it easy to use and store. I usually use it to grill salmon, just spread some on top (a little bit goes a long way!) of the salmon either just before you grill it (I use an air fryer) or marinate it 10-15 minutes before - no need to add any sauce or seasonings afterward. The Shiokoji creates this beautiful, flavorful crust. Shiokoji can also be used for meat (chicken, pork, beef) - makes the meat very juicy - as well as vegetables or just to season dishes. There are lots of recipes on the internet to try.

Just be careful in choosing cooking methods. Steaks color rapidly after use when searing. Recommend sous vide or reverse sear. ## Frequently Bought Together - Marukome Nama Shio Koji, 7.05 Ounce - Hanamaruki Liquid Ekitai Shio Koji (液体塩こうじ), Bring UMAMI Into Your Food!, Gluten Free, Non GMO - 16.9 Fl Oz - chaganju KOJI -Japanese traditional all-purpose umami seasoning of rice paste for aging marinade- 12.3oz【YAMASAN】 --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.it/products/11185377-nama-shio-koji-7-05-ounce](https://www.desertcart.it/products/11185377-nama-shio-koji-7-05-ounce) --- *Product available on Desertcart Italy* *Store origin: IT* *Last updated: 2026-05-15*
